PHMSA is the federal agency that has public responsibilities for safe and secure movement of hazardous materials to industry and consumers by all transportation modes, including the nation’s pipelines. The National Welding Inspection School focuses on plant and pipeline welding. The training provided would focus exclusively on the type of welding the Office of Pipeline Safety inspectors will encounter during inspections. Since 1979, the National Welding Inspection School has provided training to over 16,000 employees of the oil and gas industry. Hands on welding inspection will include the proper use of tongmeters, voltmeters and temperature measuring tools to determine compliance to welding procedures, including conduction heat input calculations. Any response to this notice must demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, pricing, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet PHMSA’s needs.

This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but offers will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the government.
